[Verse 1]

             
I hope I die i

           
n Sedgwick Cou

nty,
          
On a cold and 

    
wet October.
             
Turn the earth

      
 over,

Lay me in.

Lay me in.

[Verse 2]

             
I hope you mak

      
e the drive up

,
          
Hope it breaks

             
 your shitty c


ar,
             
Hope you bring

            
 your guitar,
          
Sing about wha


t little worms

 we are.
            
How the raptur

  
e saves us all

.

[Chorus]

            
Honey, I dunno

              
 if I believe 

   
in heaven.
            
In my head, it

          
's always dark

 and bare.
            
Honey, I can't

             
 think of an a


fterlife worth

 livin'
             
When in your h

             
eaven I know I

       
 ain't there.
             
When in your h

             
eaven I know I

       
 ain't there.

             
And if I cry i

all things:

Two beers on a

 Wednesday nig

ht,
              
Church songs i

      
n the fireligh

If you sing, s

        
ing for the bi

g thing
        
Hangin' over o

That the best 


you've done is

And it still e

[Verse 3]

             
They're gonna 

              
drag me up to 


heaven
             
For to see old

    
 Saint Peter
              
In nothin' but

             
 a wife-beater
              
Tell him what 

  
I done,

What I done.

[Verse 4]

             
I'm gonna figh

              
t with all the

 
 angels,
            
Get drunk in h

/      
eaven's bars.
             
Sayin' goodbye

           
's too hard.
        
They'll cut me

 off.
        
They'll cut me

 off.

[Chorus]

            
Honey, I dunno
